Room acoustics how ? My image is not centered
There are several post on Audiocircle. I'm not home now. Try "Sumiko master set speaker placement" and look for the audiocircle posts. Email me if you don't locate it and I'll send you a link. Good luck! 
New room, 12'x17'
Thanks! 
OPPO BDP-80 question
I have the 80. It uses the standard IEC 3 prong cord, not the C7. The cord will not matter in this circumstance, it will be the difference in players. If you use the HDMI output from the Oppo, it is very highly rated. I don't know if it will be be... 
Room acoustics how ? My image is not centered
Based on this post and my difficulties with my room I had tried everything I could think of, until I tried the Sumiko Master Set method. Its the only one that worked. Everything snapped into focus. The images float in the air. I can't hear one spe... 
Travel headphones need to be...
I second the Sennheiser PX-100. Great with the iPod, even better with a portable amp. 
Is PS Audio's Digital Link III out of date?
Wow. What a question. I love my stock DLIII but I have asked the same question. It has a beautiful analog sound. Not hyper-detailed like some DACs. More like my LPs. Very pleasant to listen to and affordable at $700 and used the Cullens are a bit ... 
Van Alstine?
Personally, I love my delusions and I stand behind them 100%. I KNOW I can hear the differences between DACs and CDPs, even when I can't. Let's let this discussion of differences in solid state amps rest and get back to the original issue, which w... 
New Von Schweikert VR 33?
I would also love to have more information in the 33s. I love my VR-4JRs, but I know Albert from our long phone conversations and I am sure each model is an improvement. Speaking of dealers, I read that when Albert decided to drop most of his reta... 
Subwoofer placement
Although no one can tell you where to put your sub, and Lord knows how many times I have moved my sub here and there and back again, I like these white paper studies from Harman. They make for some interesting reading about acoustics, reproduction... 
Van Alstine?
Face, you have a point. I would love to see the same testing done today. Today the solid state is better, the tube amps are better, and now there are T-amps and class D. It would be very time consuming but entertaining. I had to swap out my Bel Ca... 
New Von Schweikert VR 33?
Let's see. The question was if anyone had heard the VSA VR 33 and Audiofreakgeek's answer was a rant on why you shouldn't buy anything from Von Schweikert! What the hell is that?? Why in the world would you post that? You must have some special ax... 
First toe dip into the digital stream
Please also check out the primers on "Computer Audiophile" website for lots of information from beginners to advanced. I also went for the simplest start up system, using an older Apple G4 that I inherited from my sons, added 2 USB hard drives at ... 
24/192 rez with M2Tech HiFace
The hiface will pass true native 192 files via usb via spdif. You will not hear a difference if your files started as 44. Let the DAC III upsample for you. I am using both in my main system. 
Is a good soundstage possible with 2 speakers only
In my system and with my ears, 2 channel is often better than multichannel. MC requires the same quality source amps and speakers. Most 2 channel is not ideally positioned if it also suits MC. It will also require pro level EQ. Good luck. 
Room acoustics how ? My image is not centered
I assume that you have done all the measurements perfectly. One method is Jim Smith with Get Better Sound. It is not mathmatical but is acoustical. Money well spent. Once perfectly positioned then room treatments will help balance the frequencies....
